Your publications show broad knowledge of television and media from a cultural perspective, familiarity with current debates in media theory, aesthetics, history and/or archaeology, and a strong affinity with television and/or cross-media studies. Research relevance to environmentalism, globalization, disability studies, gender/sexuality studies or games/animation/comics will be considered an asset. Your research is interdisciplinary and fits into at least one of ASCA's research constellations (see above).
In addition to an ambitious scholar, we are looking for an enthusiastic teacher who will develop and provide modules on a range of media topics in relation to television, cross-media and/or social media, with an emphasis on their intersections and connections. We are seeking proven flexibility in teaching on topics beyond your own research focus, a willingness to work in interdisciplinary teams of teachers and the ability to offer inspiring lectures and tutorials in the BA, MA and minor programmes for a diverse group of students.
